Afterlife Tea And Boba Room — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Been meaning to check this place out for a while now and finally made it in today and this place is hella cute with DELICIOUS drinks!!

It's been in business for 2 yrs now and is owned by queer young women who are conscientious about the quality of their drinks. Per Raina (sp?), owner, they make their bobas IN HOUSE and only use agave, not sugar or honey, in their products as well as their bobas. Most places use brown sugar in their bobas so this is a much healthier version with agave! All vegan too, so that's a plus.

Not only do they feature arts and crafts by LOCAL artists, they also host a number of things: crafts, boba tutoring and queer sessions at their shop. What's even more impressive is the owner is young but already making such great strive in what she does as well as giving back to the community. She and her FIL worked side by side when we stopped in on a Saturday afternoon.

The drinks = 5/5! We ordered 1 boba milk tea with black tea as the base and 1 Vietnamese coffee. Both are DELICIOUS, flavors has depth and the boba itself is chewy and soft. The Vietnamese coffee was strong and perfectly sweet. Just the way it should be. They spent 6 mos perfecting it and the end results was one hella good, delicous coffee (coming from a Vietnamese, that's no joke!)

The VIbes = 5/5. The place is small but very intimate and quaint. She features work and products of local artists. It's very cute and there are games at the corner of the room if you and your friends want to hang out for a game or 2.

Come and support this place cuz their drinks are AWESOME and the young owner and her FIL are very personable and friendly. It was nice chat with her, learned about her journey and how she became a young business owner with the goals of spreading joy through her work (drinks), helping out the local artists as well as giving back to the community!! Overall, I'd say 10/5, cute and delicious drinks, totally surpassing my...

Mood - Something to Quench my thirst

This year has been warm. Hot is an under statement on some of the days. So this particular day after a dental treatment with the Son his mouth was aching and we knew something cold would fix that and cool is off.

Upon entering was quickly greeted and asked if there were any questions re the menu. There are awesome pictures of each drink on the wall. Pretty self explanatory. So we had none. You order at the counter, pay, find seating, and wait for your order to be called.

We opted for the Cookiemisu, and of course an Ube Classic. Both were wonderfully prepared. And the lady was courteous to let my son know his Cookiemisu is prepared with coffee. That was a nice touch I thought to let someone know that.

Interior is quaint. There are 2 small tables and a small seating area. There are board games to play as well. Now this place still sales the Boba Supplies too should you want to make your own. Music was playing in the background

Would most def recommend- prices are typical for all boba places now a days. The customer service was very friendly and courteous.

Location is Spring Mtn/ Arville- ample parking ( however be courteous of this parking area as it can get...

Quality of drinks were bad but everything else was ok.

Edit - just to expand on this, there was nothing wrong with the staff and the shop itself was fine. Decorated and colorful.

The biggest issue is that I’ve been to this place 3 times with a different friends and ordered something different everytime. I have essentially tried all of the drinks. I have also been to 9-10 different boba/tea stores throughout China town and vegas in general as well.

I have a pretty low bar for what is an acceptable drink. Even if the drink was just ok, I’m inclined to finish it. This was the first place where the drink(s) were so bad that it was a fail 3 times. Each time I either tossed the drink after 4/5 sips or gave it to someone else. The drinks were either way too sweet or had an extremely poor combination of flavors or the tea itself was flat out bad.

I have no idea how there are 80+ reviews from “local guides” saying this place is a solid 5/5. This is flat out untrue. If you are a big fan of boba tea drinks, try it for yourself and tell...
